SOCIALISM,.

It's Alarming Growth in the German Em.
rire Exciting Commcnt.
LONDON, June 1.-THE German papers
are again calling attention to tho alarming
increase Of Socialism throughout the En-.
pire and the persistent activity Of the
Socialists in spite Of the efforts Of the po.
lice to suppress them. The country is fll-
cd with Socialist literature and the efforts
Of the authorities to prevent its dissemi-
nation seem to 5e futile. Ths police an
thorities throughout tho country have re-
ceived instructions to deal with the ques-
ton vigorously and have beenSwarned
that each head Of a department will Eo
held personally responsible for his neglect
or failure to prohibit socialistic gatherings
or prevent the distribution OF seditiona
pamphlets within his iurisdiction, Es-
pecial attention, too, has been called 10
the Governments belief that the rapid
growth OF socialism has been largely duo
TO the fact that many of the police hnyo
been in eympathy with it, and have rem
dered passive assistance to Its teachinge,
and warning is given that the giving of
such aid, passive or active, will be coz
sidered as O. reasonable &C. and tho offen-
der dealt with accordingly. gss55 MA
In accordance with the new orders the
police OF Madgeburg raided house we'll
known as Socialist headquarters yeatcr-
day. Nothing was found to indicate tho
character OF tho place until one OF the
raluing party stumbled over an iron ring
In the cellar. Procuring lights and cali
ing assistance he and his companions
raised large stone to which the ring WIS
attached and found beneath o flight of
steps leading to most complete printing
establishment connected by wide and
we'll constructed tunnel with the houuo
scross the street, occupied by man OF On.
Unable reputation, and who had upon all
occasions been among the foremost in de-
nouncing Socialism and its evils. In the
printing office were great quantities Of
literature fresh from the presseB, and in
the house reached by passing through tho
tunnel were two tons OF pamphlets,
packed, boxed and ready for ehipmeut
when oppostunity.for getting them out OF
the house unobserved should arrive. Tho
literature was seized and destroyed and
the occupants Of both houses arrested.

This morning at 1880 o'clock three

George Auker were. the only persons in
the house whom tho robbers came, and
they stoutly denied that there was any
